To: Work

From: Rachel
Regarding: My absence today.

Dear Work,
As for my absence today, I consider myself a conscientious objector. It is against my beliefs to leave the house on such soggy and rainy days. It is nothing short of iniquity to leave one's house, let alone venture to the car or to work.
Fear not, however, for I can work from home! "How can I file pictures from home?" is a question that you may very well be asking yourself. Well, as I sit eating soup and watching a movie, I will put all of my capacities to mentally condition myself for the filing of pictures. Because of this mental training, I will inevitably be a much more effective picture-filer in the future.

Thank you for understanding and respecting my convictions.
Sincerely,
Rachel

[i wrote that as i was sitting at work today, thinking about what i could have written this morning. today at work i listened to four odyssey episodes. i learned valuable lessons. for example: when i don't understand poetry, i should ask for help rather than buying a poem from rusty, the bad kid at school. life lessons, i tell ya. ] [i'll write more about work later. i have odd ways of amusing myself :)]

so this is my next week:oh joy. :)
BUT, God is good. i am blessed. seriously, i am unimaginably busy, but God is showing me so much.

phew.
ok.
bye.

and the cereal went "crunch crunch crunch" in my head

hello.


so i guess you could say that i stink at putting anything on this anymore. in fact, you could say that and be right. but i don't care.

life is super busy. i got a job, i'm taking more credits (and quite a few of them are pretty hard classes) and i just don't have time for anything anymore. anything other than eating dry cereal, drinking loads of tea, getting my car hit by the neighbor, and wandering around the freezing house with a blanket tied around my waist, that is.
oh, and eating chick-fil-a number ones, with lots of ketchup. sometimes i get raisenettes, too. that's exciting. except for the fact that a girl in my linguistics class, when i introduced myself, asked me if i was the girl who always ate raisenettes.
i'm not sure how i feel about that. "the raisenette girl". eeh. yeahhh...


one day after school i came home and teased all of my hair up into a crazy, loco, spikey mess. it was awesome. and then i took a whole bunch of pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror. go figure.

and that's with no gel or anything. so loco. haha... and me being little miss drama face.
too bad the middle one is flipped. i'm too lazy to change it.


school is good. crazy hard these past two weeks, but i'm learning a ton of stuff that interests me. my brain is happy.
one of my favorite things is telling people random facts that i think are cool and i have been learning a plethora of those random facts recently. i love that.
i haven't been telling so many people, because of my lack of personal contact with the outside world, though.


i can't wait for spring break. i want to just get in the car and drive until i hit somewhere warm and sunny. we all know that that isn't going to happen, though.

too bad.


p.s. somehow giving things up for lent is a potentially funny subject for me. if i came across a person who said "i gave up wearing underwear for lent," i would laugh a lot. haha. lent. underwear. HAHAHA.


p.p.s. i decided today that, were i a man, i would purchase one of those t-shirts for pregnant ladies that have the "baby on board" sign on the belly, and i would wear it all the time. ohhhh i wish i were a man JUST so i could do that. i would have to be a not-fat man though, for it to be funny. it would be a tight t-shirt. i would laugh.


p.p.p.s. i talked to myself most of the day today. it was just one of those days, you know?


ok. the end.

haha i love my daddy

so i'm going to sub for daddy's children's ministry at church this sunday and dad sends out this email to the crew:

Just to confirm I will be out this coming Sunday, and my daughter Rachel will be subbing for me.. She is at least 5X more efficient and 10X more personable than I!
All the best, Frank

[hahahaha.... oh dad. haha ]

and this text to me:
it's no biggie. i just supply graham crackers and papercups and check for tidyness (my forte).

oh i love him.
i miss him.
but mostly i love him.
i want to be sailing with him right now.

i would say that no picture has ever come closer to perfectly capturing my ultimate state of bliss. [excepting the fact that there could have been more wind that day :) ]
i have it next to my bed.

sailing with my daddy is my favorite thing to do in the world.

on tuesday

i saw and old man with a white sun hat and a brown briefcase.
i walked behind two boys who were laughing in an uncultured way.
i realized that, had i been a male, i would surely own a pair of plaid shorts.
